Julian Sands – live: Avalanche risk as air search resumed for missing actor

Julian Sands: Who is the Hollywood British actor missing in California?

A fellow mountain climber has shared tribute to Julian Sands as the search for the missing actor enters its 10th day.

Sands, 65, was reported missing during a hiking trip in the Baldy Bowl area of the San Gabriel mountains on January 13, as searches by local authorities continue by “helicopter and drones when weather permits”.

On Twitter, Sarah Crosby has shared a tribute to the A Room with a View star, having apparently met him during an excursion on Mount Kilimanjaro.

“Praying for Julian Sands, who we got to know on Mt. Kilimanjaro,” she wrote on Twitter on Sunday evening (22 January).

“He regaled us with Shakespeare and Keats and was the first person to capture us as an engaged couple. He even carried a hunk of the mountain down to present to us. He is such a beautiful soul.”

On Friday 21 January, ground crews were still unable to continue their search efforts for the actor, due to the risk of avalanches in the area.

The search has been ramped up of late as officials use mobile phone forensics to help pinpoint the location of the actor.
